Jack turns into a powerful leader on the island for several reasons. First, he shows perseverance. When he isn't elected as leader initially, he is visibly frustrated, but he doesn't give up. Little by little, he transforms his image from a mere leader of the choir into a savage boy capable of taking life.
This transformation is appealing to the rest of the group, as evidenced by the continuing growth of his little tribe. And maybe the savagery frightens a few boys into aligning themselves with him. While this isn't a noble leadership characteristic, it can certainly prove effective—as evidenced by historical leaders such as Hitler and Stalin. Powerful leaders are not always good and honorable leaders.
The younger children are frightened that the beast hunts them after nightfall; it gives them nightmares. jack on the other hand is trying to figure out why he hasn't been successful hunting. When they kill the pig, the hunters are camouflaged; their faces painted, their demeanor fierce. Killing the pig is the ultimate success, and the hunters return in victory. However, their success is short lived when Ralph takes them to task for allowing the fire to go out and possibly have kept them from being seen by a passing ship.
Jack uses the beast to control the others just by making them eay it. He orders everyone to eat, and guarantees himself another victory the moment they do. If the others have eaten the pig thay can't blame him for allowing the signal fire to go out..... that they eat is seen as a sign of approval for his actions.
Jack uses the beast to unify the boys over a common fear. Once the boys are sufficiently afraid of the beast, Jack presents himself as a strong leader who can protect the boys from the threat. As the boys give in to more primal instincts, Jack solidifies his power by projecting himself as a hunter with authoritative knowledge about the beast the boys fear.
Jack wanted to be the leader and to fulfill his interest in hunting that's why his trick was to keep the group in fear of beast so that they stay with his order as he was the best hunter in the group ,he had power and food. Thus he control the group.
